What Causes Cramps In The Right Calf?
I have a cramp in my right calf that appeared after a day of mostly sitting that s lasted two days. It does not follow any particular extertions, exercise or strain. It hasn t happened to me before, but I have been getting intermittent, much shorter lasting cramps in my feet at night for the past few weeks.

Hello,
Most probably it is due to peripheral vascular disease arising due to the poor blood supply to the feet.
Consult a general surgeon and plan for a vascular Doppler. As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
